MCC - CIS105
Lab VB (online) - 50 points

This lab requires a software development application named Visual Basic .Net. The software is available for student use in the MCC computer labs. Students may also download and install the Express Edition at home, but since many of you may not be using the program again, online students are NOT required to acquire the software. Also, since some online students are not able to come to campus to use the software, online students may earn partial credit (30 points) by reviewing the program development process found in the PDF document (see link below). The document is about 32 pages long, so printing it is not recommended - read it online. To earn full credit (50 points), the program must be entered, compiled, and executed using Visual Basic .Net as instructed in the source document listed below.
Partial Credit Option:
  • Download Lab: VB.Net document.
  • Review the program design process (p1-4).
  • Review the process on how an interface is created and program code is entered (p5-23).
  • Review program code (p24-25).
  • Review sample output that would be generated by a completed program (p26-29).

  • Use the Lab VB Net assignment submission link in Blackboard.
    In the Submission or Add Comment box, enter:

    There are no attachments for the partial credit option.
